Turabian Citation Style The Chicago Style for Students and Researchers, 7th edition, by Kate Turabian This is a general guide to the Turabian notes-bibliography style of citation, used most often by the History and Music Departments. It is intended to help you understand the kind of information you should be keeping track of as you research and to help you begin to create you bibliography. There are a number of other rules, suggestions, and allowances for creating your bibliography. Please consult the Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 7th ed., which is located behind the Circulation Desk at the West Library. You can also ask one of the librarians ([email protected]) or your professor if you have any questions or need help.

Internal Citations There are several reasons to include a citation in your paper. These include both direct quotes and references to information found within your sources. You cite your sources as footnotes. Number each citation consecutively, using only one number per note. You may include more than one source in a single note. Put the number after a quotation mark or period. To insert a footnote, click the section of your paper where you want to insert your number, then hit Alt+Ctrl+F. Footnotes should be listed using single spacing, with an extra space between each note. Tab the footnote as you would a paragraph (first line tab, second line flush with margin). Preparing your Bibliography A bibliography should be a list of each source you cited within your notes (unless otherwise noted), listed alphabetically by author.
